Cancelling an Appointment

Cancelling or changing an appointment

It is important that you inform the Surgery if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient.

If you fail to notify the Surgery that you are unable to attend, you will be sent a letter informing you that you have defaulted from your appointment. Persistent defaulters maybe removed from the patient list.

Please provide at least 2 hours notice for any appointment cancellations.

  • Use your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
